Beta Lyrae is a complex system (an eclipsing binary B/Be star system). The asymmetry of the emission lines changes through the orbit due to the radial velocities of the two components and as different parts of the disc are eclipsed so the position of the absorption minimum moves. You can see a 3D plot of this here for examplehttps://www.shelyak.com/be-stars/?lang=en
